Concentration Calculator

Calculate solution concentration from mass of solute and volume of solution.

Calculate solution concentration from mass of solute and volume of solution.

Mass of Solute (g)

Volume of Solution (L)

Formula

Concentration = mass of solute (g) / volume of solution (L)

What is This Tool?

Concentration in g/L (grams per liter) measures how much solute is dissolved in a given volume of solution. It is a straightforward mass-volume concentration unit commonly used in biology, medicine, and environmental science.

Formula

C = m / V

Where:
  C = concentration (g/L)
  m = mass of solute (g)
  V = volume of solution (L)

Worked Examples

1. Saline solution

Given: 9 g NaCl in 1 L of solution

C = 9 g / 1 L

Result: 9 g/L (0.9% saline)

2. Sugar water

Given: 50 g sugar in 0.5 L

C = 50 g / 0.5 L = 100 g/L

Result: 100 g/L
